NEW ORLEANS, La, October 1.-Two days
ago a general strike occurred on the sugar
plantations throughout large portion of the
sugar belt of the state. Negro laborers, under
the leadership of Knights of Labor, had de-
manded an advance of twenty-five cents per
day, the present price being one dollar and
rations. This being refused, the negroes be-
came violent, and refused to let others work
Today Governor McEnery received dispatch
from j. j, .Schaefer, a Terre Bonne
planter, stating that his plantation
was in the hands of the strikers,
and asking for assistance, the parish authori-
ties being unable to protect him. Thereupon
the governor ordered a detachment of militia
to the scene of trouble to act under orders of
the civil authorities A detachment of artil-
lcry will leave this city in the morning for

Caco Anarchists.
A BAD MAN WITH A WINCHESTER.

CHICAGO, October 25.-Preparations are al
ready being made for the great anti-anarchist
drama of tho 18th Of November. Already
orders have been given, it is said, to members
OF the Second Illinois National Guard, that
they will be required to be on duty for full
week or perhaps longer prior TO November
18th, at their armory, or wherever else their
services may be required. The probability is
that the first regiment win be called upon to
do the same. 1t is understood, however, that
neither of the regiments will be called from
their respective armCries unless in case Of alb
solute need. 1t is also stated on authority that
the entire block on which the county Jail and
criminal court buildings are located are TO be
cordoned with police, and all North Clark
street buildings abutting on the jail will be
guarded with police officers, and no one allowed
to enter them until after the execution of the
condemned men.
Quite sensation was caused today among
the inmates OF the womans department of the
Jail by an official request that they help make
shrOud3 and caps to he used at the execution of
the condemned seven Some Of the inmates
were Willingto do the work required, and were
even anxious 10 participate in the CHASTITY task,
but others were strongly opposed to rendering
any aid, and these formed 50 large part of the
inmates that il may be necessary to have the
work done outside the Jail

AUGUSTA, Ga. October Especial What
appears to be a most outrageous murder oc-
CURED at 1926 Broad street last night A
worthless sort of fellow, l.. T. williamson by
name, recently married the widow Oliver, who
is worth some $1,000. Since the mar
riage he has been treating her cruelty, and has
made repeated threats that he intended get
ting rid of her and retaining her property.

Salvation Army, was with Williamson and
wife all day yesterday, and at three O'Clock in
the afternoon, rushed down to DR.. Morgan's
office, asking him to go up

doctor responded and found her apparently
drunk. He administered restoratives and
left, but was again called by Hamilton last
night. who rushed into his office saying: "My
God, if she dies, Williamson and myself will
be arrested for murder, as we were the only
persons with her. This created suspicion in
the doctors mind and when he entered the
house he found the woman dying. She expired
a few minutes thereafter, and there are strong
suspicious that she was poisoned. Coroner
Picquitt was notified Hamilton and William
son were arrested, and today an inquest was
held. All the evidence pointed to the fact that
she was poisoned, and after takingany amount
of testimony to that effect, DIR. Morgan
was ordered to analyze the stomach Of the de-
ceased to see if she really was poisoned. The
analysis will be held tomorrow, and the Jury
will give a verdict Monday Both men are
